Lunchbreak is 5 minute short surfing film that combines high performance surfing action with a cheeky twist on a Hawaiian North Shore legend.

A group of male surfers are out surfing, when the local ‘Gang’ comes and calls ‘lunch break’ kicking them out of the water. The Gang – a bunch of girls – dominate the break and show them how it’s done. Their session doesn’t last long though, a group of groms are hot on their tails, determined to teach them a lesson.

Showcasing some of surfing’s hottest female talent including Laura Enever (World No. 10), Tyler Wright (World No. 4), Felicity Palmateer (World No. 19), Serena Brooke (Former World No. 2) & Ellie Jean Coffey – this cup of surfing-coffee will slap you out of your work day stupor and get your heart pumping ready for a surf.

Produced & Directed by Clare Plueckhahn & Fran Derham, the creators of the internationally award-winning film First Love http://firstlovethefilm.com/ – Lunchbreak is a piece of multi-brand magic designed to get chicks out of the house and into the water.

Clare Plueckhahn says ‘the film reflects what’s happening in the surf world at the moment – girls are surfing better than ever and are giving the men a run for their money’ while Fran Derham describes how “we wanted to send a message to everyone out there that there’s always someone younger and keener ready to crash your party and steel the spotlight – so we decided to to tip the surfing hierarchy on it’s head and have a bit of fun. We also are launching the film online making it accessible to audiences all over the world.”

Everyone is invited to the films World Premiere online on the 1st of September 2011:

The world’s top female surfers proved by pairing up grace, strength and talent, that they are capable of taking the sport to new heights.

The 2nd SWATCH GIRLS PRO France 2011 in Hossegor delivered a firework of spectacular surfing! Moving through the rounds, the ladies faced strong currents and fast crashing waves. Heat after heat they tackled the rough challenge by laying down outstanding performances with technical, smooth and stylish surfing. Unfortunately last year’s winner and 4-time World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) and top favourite Coco Ho (HAW) were already eliminated in the early rounds.

In the end Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS) defeated Sage Erickson (USA) on an epic final day of competition to win the SWATCH GIRLS PRO France at Seignosse in Hossegor.
Both Fitzgibbons and Erickson surfed at their limit on the final day of competition in front of the packed holiday crowd who flocked to the beach to support some of the world’s finest women’s surfers, but it was Fitzgibbons who found the scores needed to take the victory over the American surfer.

Fitzgibbons, who is currently rated No. 2 on the elite ASP Women’s World Title Series, competed in her second consecutive SWATCH GIRLS PRO France event and her victory marks her third major ASP win this year.
Erickson was impressive throughout the entire competition, eventually defeating Sarah Baum (ZAF) in the Semifinals, but was unable to surpass Fitzgibbons for the win.

SPY® and photographer Chris Straley made their way out to the North Shore for a photo shoot with Kauai girl and surf industry bombshell Alana Blanchard. Check out this short-but-sweet behind look into how it all went down.

I’m tough, I’m ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay. – (Madonna Ciccone).

Dimity is tough, ambitious but definately not a bitch, she is very nice infact and posseses good manners. And she sure does rip too and im sure she makes most men including myself feel like an inferior tadpoles when surfing with her. Here she tears apart some super fun rights found on a quick trip south.
